This one's tough. Orr's out IMO as he essentially went from a top 5-7 guy to a top 4-6 guy. I don't think Murray's improved as much as he simply got much more active (which does deserve credit). For Fedoruk to be back playing at a high level and still willing to drop the gloves is definitely impressive, but his card and results weren't all that impressive in and of themself. Many thought Downey was done, so for him to have a productive season deserves merit, and while people are quick to point out he went undefeated, the only legit heavy on his card was Parros. Malone went from a pathetic fighter to a pretty decent middle. He improved tremendously IMO. As for Brookbank, I wouldn't have been surprised to never see him in the NHL again, so that was a pleasant surprise. That and his card was pretty solid, and overall he fared decently well. This one comes down to Malone, Downey, Fedoruk, and Brookbank IMO. I'll have to give it a little more thought before deciding. I find myself leaning Fedoruk simply because of the circumstances, but we will see.....
